Working Principle
The 9907-166 communicates with the 505 controller via Modbus serial protocol. It sends operator commands (key presses) to the controller and receives real-time data for display. The panel acts as a human-machine interface (HMI) that translates operator intent into digital commands and presents controller data in human-readable format.

Installation Requirements

  • Panel Cutout: Cut panel opening to specified dimensions for flush mounting.
  • Wiring: Connect RS-232/RS-422 communication cable and +24 Vdc power supply.
  • Grounding: Ensure proper panel grounding for EMI protection.
  • Clearance: Maintain adequate clearance behind panel for ventilation.

Usage Precautions

  • Environmental Protection: Do not expose to direct sunlight or excessive moisture.
  • Cleaning: Use only mild detergent and soft cloth for cleaning; avoid solvents.
  • Keypad Care: Do not use sharp objects on the membrane keypad.
  • Firmware Compatibility: Verify firmware version compatibility with connected 505 controller.
